Water flows to waste from hydrant
ST ANDREW, Jamaica — Residents who live on Roehampton Estate, St Andrew, are calling on authorities to visit their community where gallons of water is now going to waste.
“We need the water people to visit the area. Water from the hydrant has been running unattended for hours and going to waste,” one man who was seen walking in the area said.
The calls come just months after authorities were forced to implement several water restrictions in a number of areas because of drought conditions affecting the island.
